School Of Rock 'n Roll
Gene Summers Lyrics

(1) Well, the School Of Rock 'n Roll holds
session all year long
Well, the School Of Rock 'n Roll is where
you learn to move your bones
Well, the School of Rock 'n Roll is where
I long to go.

(2) Now the teacher she don't even use no chalk
No, 'cause man alive she don't pretend to
make a mark

'Cause at this here school all you learn to
do is rock.

(Cho)Well, they rock on the blackboard, rock on
the desk
The rockin' homework is what they love best
The school Of Rock 'n Roll holds session all
year long
Yeah, the School Of Rock 'n Roll is where I
Long to go!

(repeat chorus)

Summers graduated from Duncanville High School in 1957 and attended Arlington State College, now known as the University of Texas at Arlington. That same year, he formed the rockabilly band The Rebels and performed on Joe Bill's Country Picnic on KRLD, where they were spotted by songwriter Jed Tarver. This led to the band being signed by newly-found Jan Records. Their first record was released on February 1, 1958, under the name of Gene Summers & His Rebels.
